Merry Christmas Part 2

After church this morning, we headed out to Matt's mom's house. Anna was a little wiggly before dinner was ready, so Grandma let her open one gift.


After lunch, she was ready to show off her excellent gift-opening abilities and got right into it. She loved playing with her new Little People nativity set. She had the most fun pushing the angel who would then activate the music. (Anna can dance to "Away in a Manger".) It'll be fun to help her play with that as she learns the Christmas story.
Then she got to show off her helping-everyone-else-open-their-gifts abilities. Grandma and Aunt Jo-Jo loved the calendars with loads of Anna pictures. Anna got to help Uncle David with his gifts, too.


In between gift times, there was a lot of food to consume. We had a delicious lunch with a lot of really great food. In the afternoon, Matt showed Jolynn how to make biscotti. Then he launched into making bread for the cheese fondue (the family tradition) for dinner. We had a great day celebrating together.
